    A *good* one, like the K-1000, maybe not. But as Watermom noted, a *good-enough-for-now* one is almost certainly available at Walmart, Kmart, Lowes, Home Depot, or Ace Hardware.

    Also, while the water is still very cloudy, take the filter cartridge OUT -- we're beginning to suspect that running the algae particles through a filter that does NOT trap them, fractures the particles and makes them even harder to filter, later.

    Walmart Supercenter
    3333 U.S. 60, Huntington, WV
    (304) 525-8889

    Kmart
    5636 US Route 60 # 14, Huntington, WV
    (304) 736-7813

    Ace Hardware
    4358 5th Street Rd, Huntington, WV

    Also, based on some on-going investigations in this sort of problem -- which is affecting a LOT of people this year -- you may want to consider getting everything listed below, if your budget is not tight. Floc products are selling out nationally, probably because the warm spring has affected millions of pool owners, so to have it when you need it, you would need to order now. If you buy locally, be EXTREMELY careful to get the EXACT product listed below; there is a LOT of deceptive selling going on; even pool stores don't usually know the difference.

    PAC (polyaluminum floc)
    GLB Pool & Spa Products 71408 1-Quart Drop n' Vac Pool Water Clarifier @ Amazon -OR-
    Blue Wave Super Floc 4 x 1 qt. @ Amazon - 4 days to ship -OR- Proteam Superfloc Clarifier (if it's available locally)
